The website of the Verkhovna Rada, Ukraine's parliament, has posted amendments proposed by Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko to a bill on e-declaration of incomes, which is the last one in the so-called visa package needed for Ukrainians' visa-free travels to the European Union.

The president suggests that the e-declaration system should be introduced as early as in 2016 and the first who this system will be applied to are high-ranking officials, judges and prosecutors.

Should inaccurate data in officials' income declarations be given deliberately, they will be fined from 1,000 to 2,500 non-taxable minimum sums of income.

Amendments to Article 366-1 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine foresee a fine worth from 2,000 to 3,000 non-taxable minimum sums of income or community service for a period from 150 to 240 hours, or imprisonment for a period of up to two years with a ban on work on certain positions or certain activity for a period for up to three years.
